The Seal.

Before I move on, I must show you this.

Stephen took this video while we were in Provincetown on the Cape this weekend. We were gandering on the beach and Xavier announced that what appeared to be a log up ahead was no such thing. A seal, rather. So we ran and ran and interrupted its solitary moment of beach lounging. We felt sort of bad about that, but mostly really excited about witnessing such a thing so close. Stephen remarked that it was a very modern moment in time because he was more concerned about capturing the seal on his camera than actually watching the thing move or experiencing it right there. (N'est-ce pas, Benjamin). Well, praise modernity for the very fact that now this little guy can be distributed to so many who were not on the beach yesterday.
